Question

Attaching keywords to topics

I attached the keyword 'cherry' to a topic using the Topic Properties General tab. When I compile the help and search for the word 'cherry' there are no matches. Am I missing something?

Thanks

    I just tested in both WebHelp and Microsoft HTML Help (CHM), It seems to work only in WebHelp. You don't say what help you are creating but the word "compiling" does suggest a CHM.

    I have been advised that this feature cannot work in CHMs because of the limitations of the Microsoft Help Compiler. Using the online help I have added a comment that this should be stated.

    Thanks for your help Peter. I guess there is not much we can do if it is a problem with the help compiler.

    Thanks for reporting the problem.
